Comments about ‘Mormon History Association stays close to roots’

Thank you for the MHA updates; they are essential for the non-member public with
an interest in the history and heritage. They have always been very inclusive
and focused on giving (for the most part) the unvarnished, factual history.

The closest I can come is to attend an occasional Daughters of the Utah
Pioneer meeting with my mother in St. George. The older I get, the more I value
the hard work of research that historians do. My generation is the last living
link between our frontier grandparents' live stories and reading the book
versions. I was always impressed that my grandmother served and remained
supportive of the DUP all her life (1899-1995). She instilled the importance of
retaining those histories, warts and all, for future generations.

That the MHA is inclusive of non-LDS speaks to its integrity and true
historical purpose. It is one of the few places where ex-Mormons can enjoy
fellowship without judging from LDS, as we focus on the stories, journals and
history of our common ancestors.

Please continue reporting on the
meetings and the special presentations.
